Gyro
Ingredients
* 1/2 onion, cut into chunks * 1 pound ground lamb * 1 pound ground beef * 1 tablespoon minced garlic * 1 teaspoon dried oregano * 1 teaspoon ground cumin * 1 teaspoon dried marjoram * 1 teaspoon ground dried rosemary * 1 teaspoon ground dried thyme * 1 teaspoon ground black pepper * 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
1. Place the onion in a food processor, and process until finely chopped. Scoop the onions onto the center of a towel, gather up the ends of the towel, and squeeze out the liquid from the onions. Place the onions into a mixing bowl along with the lamb and beef. Season with the garlic, oregano, cumin, marjoram, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Mix well with your hands until well combined. Cover, and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend. 2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). 3. Place the meat mixture into the food processor, and pulse for about a minute until finely chopped and the mixture feels tacky. Pack the meat mixture into a 7x4 inch loaf pan, making sure there are no air pockets. Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place the loaf pan on the towel, inside the roasting pan, and place into the preheated oven. Fill the roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the loaf pan. 4. Bake until the gyro meat is no longer pink in the center, and the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) on a meat thermometer, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Pour off any accumulated fat, and allow to cool slightly before slicing thinly and serving.

[pic]Indian Textile Industry and Garment Exports
November 28, 2012 Disha Leave a comment
The Indian textile industry is one of the largest industries in the world, with a huge raw material and textile manufacturing base. The industry occupies a unique position as a self-reliant industry, from the production of raw materials to the delivery of finished products. This large and ancient industry has carved out a special niche for itself as a facilitator of the county’s economic growth and participative development.
Textile industry in India is a highly versatile sector, with smaller firms providing flexibility needed for smaller orders; the larger firms have the capacity to service the world’s biggest buyers. The Government of India has also undertaken several favourable policy initiatives, which have resulted in the growth of the sector. “Indian textile industry contributes about 14 per cent to industrial production, 4 per cent to the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) and 16.63 per cent to export earnings,” as per Ministry of Commerce and Trade, India.
Major destination for Indian garment exports
The USA is the number one destination for the exports of Indian apparels. During 2011, the garment imports to the USA from world were around US$ 81.51 billion. India exports garments of worth US$ 3.53 billion to the USA, which accounts for 4.33 per cent share in the USA’s......

...Conral CSX case
Executive Summary
Conrail has received two acquisition bids from CSX and Norfolk Southern.
Introduction

In the midst of this offer, a hostile Bid comes in from Norfolk Southern, a competitor in the Industry. Norfolk Southern offers ____
Analysis
Case A, Question 1: Why is CSX interested in Conrail? How much should CSX pay for Conrail?
The Stagger’s Rail Act of 1980 has created a deregulated environment in which acquisitions are used to improve the competitive positioning of existing companies within the railroad industry. CSX is interested in Conrail for a couple of reasons. Primarily, CSX would like to acquire Conrail because its routes are complementary to their own, allowing the combined company to provide “long-haul, contiguous, and therefore low-cost service between the Southern, Eastern, and Mid-Western parts of the United States.” Additionally, CSX’s acquisition of Conrail would prevent the company’s main competitor Norfolk Southern from gaining access to routes in the Northeastern United States. This would leave Norfolk Southern at a large strategic disadvantage. Lastly,......

...There are a few main reason that can explain why CSX have decided to implement a two-tiered offer:
- Avoid taxation at the corporate level, only the investor have to pay the taxation on the capital gains realized ones the transaction will be completed. In fact the first tier of the transaction is a tender offer, in which only the target’s shareholders are involved. The second tier of the transaction is a back-end merger, the acquirer plans to do a stock deal in order to avoid also in this tier of the transaction the taxation at the corporate level. The taxation exemption isn’t the main reason that can explain this offer, because with the same proportion of cash and stock employed also a negotiated merger will achieve the same result. Also this is a capital intensive sector and the taxation base is higher compared to other sector of the old economy, so the capital gain and the tax bill that will result, if the taxation exemption requirement are not respected, are not so huge;
- Avoid the Pennsylvania’s Business Corporation law. The premium that CSX are willing to pay in the two tier of the transaction isn’t the same, bigger with the tender offer, in order to take the control of the firm, and smaller in the back-end merger, this is not allowed unless the shareholder vote for the opt out of the statute before CSX would acquire more than the 19,9 % of Conrail. After the first stage of the transaction is completed CSX will own a 19,7 % stake of Conrail, and considering all the......

...Objective of the study:
1. To develop a general understanding and situation under negotiation;
2. To develop a thorough understanding of the interests of both side and their relation to the negotiations;
3. To undertake adequate preparation to realize these interests and resolve the problematic situation.
Introduction:
In simplest terms, negotiation is a discussion between two or more disputants who are trying to work out a solution to their problem. This interpersonal or inter-group process can occur at a personal level, as well as at a corporate or international (diplomatic) level. Negotiations typically take place because the parties wish to create something new that neither could do on his or her own, or to resolve a problem or dispute between them. The parties acknowledge that there is some conflict of interest between them and think they can use some form of influence to get a better deal, rather than simply taking what the other side will voluntarily give them. They prefer to search for agreement rather than fight openly, give in, or break off contact.
Here I have drawn a negotiation module where I have discussed my performance and contributions and that of my negotiating team to the negotiation process.

...Economic, Technological, Political, and Sociocultural
Trends in strategic development
CSX is one of seven class 1 railroads operating in the United States. The railroad industry doesn’t compete in a real free market. They tend to be somewhat monopolistic due to their size and scope, and for this reason they are regulated by the government. But as with any other business, the state of the economy is a factor on their profitability.
With a continuingly slow economy the railroad services will remain lower in demand than CSX would like. As with mostly all of the other transportation services, the cost of fuel is a major contributing factor towards CSX’s bottom line. CSX and much of the railroad industry have implemented and continue to implement new technology to help keep their costs down, which allows them to be more competitive. According to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, freight moved on trains would cost shippers an additional $70 billion on standard trucks.
Fuel efficiency is not the only technological advancement being made in the railroad industry. As with many other businesses in the field of logistics, GPS and other wireless technologies continue to add efficiency. New technologies are being applied to increase safety. Over the last 5 years CSX has had a 40% improvement in the rate of train accidents.
Being a regulated industry, railroad is at sometimes more than others, highly connected to the political environment...
